20090009125 | ROBOT SYSTEM - The present invention provides a safe robot system adapted to always and clearly indicate a worker whether an emergency stop operation can be performed by an emergency stop operation section in an unwired portable teaching operation section, thereby to prevent occurrence of a misconception. | 01-08-2009 |
20090173560 | ROBOT SYSTEM - A robot system capable of safely and stably holding an object with an optimum holding method and holding force. A robot control section ( | 07-09-2009 |
20100010670 | ROBOT - A robot includes a base unit, at least two link mechanisms arranged on the base unit, drive units capable of bending and expanding the link mechanisms, and a control unit controlling the drive units. At least one drive unit has a drive force larger than those of the other drive units, and the other drive units are passively displaced by external forces larger than their own drive forces. | 01-14-2010 |
20100155155 | MOBILE BODY - A mobile body includes a string body that can be pulled out from and retracted into a main body, a length measurement device configured to measure a pull-out length by which the string body is pulled out, and an angle measurement device configured to measure an angle of the string body with respect to the main body. A drive unit is controlled on the basis of the results of the measurements performed by the length measurement device and the angle measurement device. | 06-24-2010 |
20110192247 | ROBOT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE ROBOT - A robot includes a base, a plurality of link mechanisms, at least one drive device, and a controller. The plurality of link mechanisms are provided on the base. Adjacent link mechanisms among the plurality of link mechanisms are connectable to each other. The at least one drive device is to bend and extend the plurality of link mechanisms. The controller is configured to control the at least one drive device. | 08-11-2011 |
20120323357 | PICKING SYSTEM - A picking system includes a conveyer, a robot, and a control device. The conveyer conveys workpieces. The robot includes a plurality of holding parts and a supporting part. The holding parts hold the workpieces. The supporting part is rotatably provided against an arm to support the plurality of holding parts. Then, the control device instructs the robot to rotate the supporting part by a predetermined amount in such a manner that the direction of the workpiece becomes a predetermined direction for each the workpiece held by the holding parts and then to place the workpiece on a predetermined place. | 12-20-2012 |
20120323358 | PICKING SYSTEM - A picking system includes a conveyer, a robot, a main camera, and a control device. The conveyer conveys workpieces. The robot performs a holding operation and a moving operation on the workpieces. The main camera captures the transport path of the conveyer. The control device detects the workpiece on the basis of the image captured by the main camera and instructs the robot to perform the holding operation on the detected workpiece. Moreover, the control device instructs the robot to perform the holding operation on the overlapped workpieces when the overlapping of the workpieces is detected. | 12-20-2012 |
20120323363 | ROBOT SYSTEM - A robot system according to embodiments includes a conveying device, a plurality of robots, an image capturing device, a workpiece detecting device, and a control device. The control device includes an operation instruction unit and an allocating unit. The operation instruction unit generates an operation instruction for performing a holding operation on workpieces on the basis of the detection result of the workpiece detecting device and transmits the operation instruction to the robots. The allocating unit determines which of the plurality of robots to which the operation instruction unit transmits the operation instruction on the basis of conveying situations of the workpieces obtained from the detection result of the workpiece detecting device. | 12-20-2012 |
